Hi!

Welcome to my little space.

Simple meals for springtime

Pea and pesto pasta. Make and freeze pesto in advance or buy your favorite kind. Cook pasta, add in peas the last couple of mins and quickly drain and cool. Stir in pesto and voila!

Simple guacamole- honestly, the less ingredients, the better. A few diced tomatoes, lots of mashed avocado, a sprinkle of cilantro, squirt of lime, and pinch of salt. That and a bag of good tortilla chips can be called dinner.

Cabbage and sausage sauteed in butter and olive oil. One of my favorite foods. Add some fried potatoes to make it even better.

Three-ingredient "Brazillian Lemonade". I still don't know why it's called lemonade when no lemons are present. Still... It's amazing. I use a can of coconut milk and add sugar and {unpeeled} quartered limes. Blend it in the blender for a few seconds and strain through a mesh strain. This punch will soothe family fights during a Cinco De Mayo party.

Rich, tart, chewy, and utterly divine lemon bars. I baked these for myself on Mother's day. At least my tears tasted sweet.
